Ok, back to continue the article about creating Master Detail relationship in Sharepoint 2010.
In my previous post Master Detail in Sharepoint (1/2) I've shown you how to prepare the Master forms in order to view the Details of a Master item.

Now you need to tweak a bit the Details table form, in order to provide an easy way for the end user to add and update Detail items. Check it out how in this article.

Good evening people, this week I've faced some nice challenge in Sharepoint 2010. Working with a Task, I needed to get the parent Summary Task of Task after it was added, changed or deleted, in order to update that same Summary Task with information about its children tasks.

It took me a few hours to solve this problem, yet solved it with a simple solution. Keep reading :)

Hello again, recently I've tried to add a summary task in a task list in an event receiver.
For my surprise that turned out to be more difficult then I initially expected. Nevertheless, the solution is pretty simple.

Ok here is another nice tip. I recently needed to add to the context menu (ECB menu) of a file the "Edit in ..." command. Basically, if the native application is WebDav compatible I want to be able to edit any file for the referenced application, just from the browser, instead of navigating throw the Explorer View. (This will only work for Internet Explorer)

Good day all, I bring you another tweak for Sharepoint. In
Sharepoint 2010 and Cascade Lookups I've shown you how to filter a lookup column based on the value of another. Now, what if you want to filter a column, based on a query of the source list?
There are plenty of options over the web on how to do it using third-party tools. In my opinion it is always good to avoid that. Why? Well in the past I had huge problems with third-party tools, specially restoring sites with those features.

Here I am for another great tip. One of the things that lack in Sharepoint 2010 is the ability to create Cascade Lookup columns. This is, to filter the options of a lookup column based on the value of another.

Around the web you can find many solutions, I used one hosted in Codeplex http://spcd.codeplex.com. The documentation needs some tweak, here you might see how I managed to put it to work.

One of the great things of Microsoft Sharepoint Foundation 2010 is the capability of creating a development environment in Microsoft Windows 7 Professional (does not work in Windows 7 Home editions). This become pretty handy for me, my working computer is a laptop, so I can now develop applications anywhere without restrictions.
